Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 52: Establishing a military academy and aiming at the world

Mi Si'er naturally also needs to plan.

Therefore, on his way back to Lingnan, Zhu Xi had already begun to think about how to send troops.

Population is still a big problem.

However, it is not impossible to solve it.

For example, in one place, there are many sources of soldiers.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang would not want anyone from this place.

The point is, most of these people are extremely vicious.

Zhu Xiang's eyes were cast on the prison!
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were at least hundreds of thousands of prisoners in prisons.

Is it possible to send all these people into the army?
As I said before, it has been difficult to popularize the "Da Ming Law" since its implementation.

Therefore, some people break the law not because they are bad-natured, but because they are completely unaware that they have violated the strict "Ming Law" and are being punished. Of course, there are also some bad seeds among them.

But so what?
Zhu Ping let them out, not to deal with his own people.

Besides, on the battlefield, life or death is uncertain.

Zhu Ping decided to give it a try.

First of all, in the land of Lingnan, there are many prisoners in the jails of various counties.

In total, there are about [-].

The person responsible for determining punishment in Lingnan Prison is Professor Luo.

He arrested many people.

When these people are in prison, they are eating free food, and most of them are young and strong. Why should they waste it?

There are 1 prisoners, excluding those sentenced to death for heinous crimes, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are at least [-] people, plus the soldiers and horses of the guard station, and then thousands of young soldiers are recruited from various places into the military camp.

Then break up these prisoners for training, and send professional instructors to discipline them.

Three months later, young soldiers replaced the guard soldiers, and the guard soldiers and the prisoner soldiers were mixed to form a total of [-].

Ten thousand goes to Nanyang, and ten thousand goes to the Middle East.

Then develop new firearms and equipment to enhance the military's combat capabilities...

Zhu Xi thought of a way.

At the end of September, Zhu Ping, who had just returned to Panyu, immediately called for Professor Luo and Xiang Hai, and ordered them to go to various counties to pick up some prison sentences, and then send all the prisoners who met the conditions to the guards.

At the same time, He Gui also recruited young people from various places to join the army. The age limit was 17 years old and above. Dozens of counties in Lingnan recruited an average of more than [-] people in each county, making up a total of [-].

Then Zhu Ping suddenly had a whim...

Should we establish a military academy?

It seems to be very exciting!

Since Zhu Ping came to Lingnan, the military aspect has not been a priority, but he has relied on it. He Gui and his cousins ​​have completed every mission well.

And because of this, He Gui became a person that Zhu Ping valued highly.

In addition, in the hands of Zhu Xi, military talents can also be recruited, which is enough to meet his needs for establishing a military academy.

When the time comes, Zhu Feng will be the principal, and He Gui will give him the vice-principal position.

This is a very honorable thing.

Do it when you think of it!
Of course, for such a major event as the establishment of a military academy, Lao Zhu must be in touch with him.

So Zhu Xi immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital.

In addition, he also wrote letters to Queen Ma and Xu Miaoyun.

In this letter to Xu Miaoyun, in addition to "The Story of the Stone", there were also some experiences of Zhu Xi's trip to sea, which were also written in it. However, Nephili Lili and Zhu Xi naturally did not mention it at all.

In normal times, the Luo family sisters and Zhu Ping also let them stay at the Luo family.

When he was free, Zhu Ping went to find them.

There is no way, there is someone in the palace now.Or the future sister-in-law.

The matter with Xu Miaoyun has not yet finally succeeded, so Zhu Fang naturally has to be careful.

Just after I finished writing, Xu Miaojin came back.

"Brother-in-law?"

Xu Miaojin has been completely led astray by Zhu Ping. Now she is used to calling Zhu Ping 'brother-in-law', and there is no pressure. She asked happily: "When did you come back?"

"Back in the morning."

Zhu Xi smiled, and then said: "I brought some books from Miser over there, and a globe I ordered someone to make. It was originally intended to be handed over to the school. If you are free, bring someone to give it to you." I'll go there. Also, guess what gift my brother-in-law brought you when he went to sea this time?"

"what?"

Xu Miaojin responded, but she was very interested in the globe and kept looking at it.

"Do you like it? There are still some in the house. When the time comes, you can take your time and take a look. If you don't understand, just ask me."

Zhu Xi said, took out a box and said, "What's inside is a gift for you."

Xu Miaojin opened it and saw a big luminous pearl inside.

"Brother-in-law, isn't this expensive? I don't want it!"

Xu Miaojin said: "I like this globe better...Brother-in-law, can you tell me what places are on it?"

It seems that Xu Miaojin should have learned a lot in school during the more than a month since Zhu Ping left. At least she has not raised any doubts about the roundness of the earth.

Zhu Fang started talking to Xu Miaojin: "This is the Ming Dynasty, and then here is our Lingnan, which is close to the sea. We call it the South China Sea. Then to the southeast of the South China Sea is the Luzon Kingdom, and next to it is Sulu. This time I arrived at these places, including Brunei, Srivijaya, and Java..."

"So this is what it looks like!" Xu Miaojin looked at it seriously.

Seeing her entranced look, Zhu Xi shook his head and stood up helplessly.

She doesn't love this night pearl, but she falls in love with geography?

Ok!

That night pearl remains.

"Read it slowly for yourself. If you don't understand anything, come back and ask me when you have time. I'll go and rest for a while first." Zhu Xi stood up.

At this time, Xu Miaojin said: "Brother-in-law, I almost forgot, there is an edict from the palace, I ordered someone to put it in your palace."

"understood."

Zhu Xi nodded.

An edict from the palace?

In all likelihood, it is probably related to Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday.

He hurried back to the palace, found the edict, removed the mud seal and opened it.

The content of the edict is indeed about the arrangements for Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday.

Then Zhu Xi smiled.

I remember how embarrassed I was when I left Beijing at the beginning of the year.

Zhu Yuanzhang also said that he would not be called back to Beijing.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry at that time.

But now the edict clearly asks Zhu Ping to rush back to the capital to attend the birthday banquet.

But the edict also said: Qin King Zhu Xiang has not cleared up his guilt, so he has been demoted to the first level. He can only enter the capital on the 21st, and he is not allowed to stay any longer. He will return to his fiefdom immediately after the birthday banquet!
This means that Zhu Xi cannot return to Beijing for an audience with the etiquette of a prince.

Moreover, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang can enter Jinling City on his birthday, he must leave immediately after attending the birthday banquet.

Zhu Yuanzhang is showing off for the world to see!

Although I called this son who had committed a crime back to celebrate my birthday, I was not very close to him. Don't say that I, the emperor, am partial.

Interesting ancient people!
